Mastodon.bd is finally up and running.

It’s the first Bangladesh-focused Mastodon instance on the fediverse. I’ve been wanting to see something like this exist for a long time, so it feels good to finally put it online.

Even though the focus is Bangladesh, the instance is open to everyone, regardless of where you’re from.

I was told that it's been flagged that I'm not using any AI products at work.

So I generated some noise for the reports.

And SCREAMING.

Okay, I've used the only hundred tokens I'll ever use.

"There's this new technique called 'stacked hallucinatory reinforcement', where you imagine what the AI would tell you and then do that instead of asking it.

It's brought costs right down and made me a good 10-15% faster at pushing code, but the real saving is that it drives collaboration and eliminates that costly 'have someone experienced enough rewrite the whole thing two weeks later' step!

This is the FUTURE, people."

Literally never buy adafruit. Not just will you be buying AI slop, but they will use any personal details you give them to dox you, if you say something the CEO doesn't like online.

He has literally been taking people's private details, acquired through their support of the company, against them the moment they speak out.

If you find his account make sure to report it and link to a post with all the details, and if he manages to find a permanent home, consider a #fediblock at them for hosting doxxers willingly. Help the fedi admins/mods protect the community from a cringe rich creep having a legendary crashout.

Also consider boosting this post, the linked post, or other posts about this; help warn people away from a very seemingly questionable company.

FYI y'all who aren't trans really need to step up your game if you don't want to be complicit in my and friends' genocide. I'm beyond the point of asking or begging. At this point, if you are cis and aren't speaking up for trans people by writing and calling your state representatives at MINIMUM then you are complicit in the genocide of trans people in the United States.

Y'all, we are being targeted for extermination and blamed for society's ills at the same time healthcare is being stolen from you, prices are rising, the government is stealing from you in the form of tariffs, and covering up a massive pedophilia ring. And everywhere I turn, it's business as usual. You didn't listen to us when we brought this up for years and years leading up to this point. Time to step up and actually act like you want us here.

I just discovered this program: interest-free loans up to $10,000 for any LGBTQIA+ person in the US who needs money to leave their current home

I thought I’d post about it in case anyone can make use of it

why yes person I'm subposting, I actually CAN imagine what it's like to have this Administration obviously not like me, and yet never have nice outsiders feel the faintest concern about folks like me because OTHER people are always the worthy ones.

It's almost as though multiple minorities share similar issues. Imagine.
